kInputting and Displaying Data
Input in the Algebra Mode is performed in the upper part of the display, which is called the
“input area.” You can input commands and expressions at the current cursor location.
Calculation results appear in the lower part of the display, which is called the “output area.”
When a calculation produces an equation or inequality, the lower part of the display is
divided between a “natural result display area” for the result, and a “formula number area” for
the formula number as shown below.

If all the result does not fit on the display, use the cursor keys to scroll it.
kInputting List Data
List: {element, element, ..., element}
•Elements should be separated by commas, and the entire set of elements should be
enclosed within {curly braces}.
•You can input numeric values and expressions, equations, and inequalities as list elements.
○○○○○
Example To input List {1, 2, 3}
!*( { )b,c,d
!/( } )w
kInputting Matrix Data
Matrix (m×n): [[(1,1) entry, (1,2) entry, ..., (1,m) entry] [(2,1) entry, ......, (2,n) entry]...
[(m,n) entry, ..., (m,n) entry]]
•The above input is arranged to show the relative positions of entries in the matrix. Actual
input is an unbroken line, from left to right.
•Entries should be separated by commas, and the entire set of elements should be enclosed
within [square brackets]. And each line also should be enclosed within [square brackets].
•You can input numeric values and expressions as matrix entries.

•Jkey
•{Yn}/{rn}/{Xtn}/{Ytn}/{Xn}... input of graph memory {Yn}/{rn}/{Xtn}/{Ytn}/{Xn}
kFormula Memory
The CAS Mode has 28 formula variables. Variable names are the letters A through Z, plus r,
and θ . CAS Mode formula variables are independent of standard value variables.

kFunction Memory and Graph Memory
Function memory lets you store functions for later recall when you need them.
With graph memory, you can store graphs in memory. Press the Jkey and then input the
name of the graph.
○○○○○
Example To differentiate f1= cos(X), which is assigned to function memory f1,
at X
2(CALC)b(diff)K6(g)4(FMEM)
d(fn)b,v)w
○○○○○
Example To differentiate Y1 = cos(X), which is assigned to graph memory Y1,
at X
2(CALC)b(diff)
J1(Yn) b,v)w
kEqn Memory
When a calculation result is an equation or inequality, its formula number is displayed in the
formula number area, and the equation is stored in Eqn memory.*1Stored equations can be
recalled with the eqn command, rclEqn command or rclAllEqn command.
7-1-6
Using the CAS (Computer Algebra System) Mode
*1Up to 99 formulas can be stored in Eqn
memory.
The error message “Memory ERROR” when
you try to store an equation when there are
already 99 equations in Eqn memory. When
this happens, execute the ALLEQU (Delete
All Equations) from the CLR menu.

kAnswer (Ans) Memory and Continuous Calculation
Answer (Ans) memory and continuous calculation can be used just as with standard
calculations. In the Algebra Mode, you can even store formulas in Ans memory.
○○○○○
Example To expand (X+1)2and add the result to 2X
1(TRNS)b(expand)
(v+b)x)w
Continuing:
+cvw
kReplay Contents
Replay memory can be used in the input area. After a calculation is complete, pressing d
or ein the input area recalls the formula of the last calculation performed. After a
calculation or after pressing A, you can press for cto recall previous formulas.
kMoving the Cursor Between Display Areas
When ]'`$indicates a calculation result that does not fit on the display, the cursor
keys perform output area scrolling. To use the Replay Function from this condition, press
6(g)2(SW). ]'`$change to a dotted line display to indicate that cursor key
operations control the input area.
Pressing 2(SW) again moves the cursor back to the output area.
7-1-7
Using the CAS (Computer Algebra System) Mode
# Pressing 6(g)1(CLR)d(ALLEQU)
deletes Eqn memory, Ans memory, and
Replay memory contents.
#You can input up to 255 bytes of data into the
input area.
